@robinince.bsky.social Robin, hi again, I've literally just chatted to you outside the Apollo Stage at Latitude. You wanted me to remind you to consider Burnley Mechanics and the independent bookshop Colne for your future tours (I can certainly assist with you making contact with both of those if >>

Spoiler warning. The phrase "Squinty eyed Reform goblin Richard Tice" may make you spit out your drink. 🤣

🚨BREAKING NEWS: Parents "Terrified" Of School Break youtu.be/2S9q2bR44CY

You don't create a secret police just to go after the marginalized, you create a secret police so you can go after anyone who opposes you — and you use the marginalized groups to create the playbook you'll use on everyone. @indivisible.org

"It’s been four years and even now, when I’m remembering that time, I’m scared when I’m sleeping.” Habib fled the Taliban in 2021. With no meaningful safe route, he was left with no choice but getting on a small boat. These are the voices Starmer must listen to. www.service95.com/firsthand-ac...

🚨 We’re shocked and disappointed. The UK government has pushed through HUGE cuts to Universal Credit for disabled people applying in the future. These cuts will be devastating. They risk pushing even more disabled people to food banks.

I volunteer in a @trusselluk.bsky.social Foodbank. The need keeps increasing while donations are going down. If you’re in a position to do so, please consider donating food, money or time to your local Foodbank. #dowhatyoucan

Labour have pressed ahead with their punishing cuts to vital support for sick and disabled people, despite warnings from human rights groups, medical experts and the UN. A shameful act of cruelty by a shameless government.

The PM says welfare “must be pushed through.” But for 1.3m Disabled people, this isn’t reform its removal. PIP isn’t a bonus. It’s a lifeline. Cuts dressed as reform are still cuts. We need justice, not judgement. Dignity, not denial. #DisabilityJustice #PIP #LivedExperience

Possibly a mis-quote but the sentiment still stands. I took this photo whilst on site pre-public opening at Glastonbury festival, which is where I was 9 years ago today. Remember Jo and her 'More in Common' message today, the 9th anniversary of her murder.

Join us in two weeks to celebrate Independence Day with Democrats Abroad in London. Sunday, June 29 from 12pm – 5pm Portman Square, London W1H 6L 🎟️ Link: www.democratsabroad.org/dauksec/dauk... This is an opportunity to spend a day in community with other progressive Americans living in the UK.

We were heartbroken to hear about the assassination of Melissa and Mark Hortman yesterday and extend our deepest sympathies to their families, and gratitude for their service. This unacceptable violence is a direct result of the rhetoric of Trump and his regime. We do not accept rule by tyrants.

For 20 months, the British government has given Israel seemingly unlimited military aid and political cover for its atrocities in Gaza. Further UK involvement in any Israeli operations further removes the prospect of peace. We need proper diplomacy now.

97% of extremist-related murders in the U.S. in 2024 were linked to right-wing extremists. It’s not a political movement anymore - it’s a hobby for failed men with too much testosterone and not enough brain cells.

Two councillors at Cheshire West & Chester council have resigned from the Labour party after being prevented from raising the removal of PIP in the council chamber. Labour now have no majority on the council. ✊✊

Yesterday, millions of us reasserted the “We” in "We the people." We gained strength from our solidarity. We celebrated our numbers and our power. We will be steadfast. We will not cower to a dictator. We will win.

I wrote to my MP to demand the release of the Madleen’s volunteers and the lift of Israel’s siege on Gaza with @dotwuk.bsky.social , will you? Join the campaign. secure.doctorsoftheworld.org.uk/page/172952/...

I added my name to demand real action from the UK government – not just words - to protect civilians and humanitarian workers in Gaza with @dotwuk.bsky.social. Please take a minute to do the same. petition.doctorsoftheworld.org.uk/page/171651/...

www.change.org/p/tax-wealth... Sign and share please. This is going to be presented to Parliament by Richard Burgon MP. The higher the number of people who sign it, the more likely the PM, Cabinet ministers and the rest of Parliament will listen to it. So it needs a lot more people to sign it.

People should lift each other up and cheer each other on, not try to outdo each other. The sky would be terribly dark with only one star.

@robinince.bsky.social Robin, is the rose on your profile header a David Austin by any chance? Hope you're having a great time still zipping round the country 😉

From @bigbrotherwatch.bsky.social : This is a petition for the Government to stop the Government from basically covertly spying on everyone who receives welfare payments. If you don't think that's acceptable, please sign it and share it. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

We need retrofit, for the future. The climate emergency demands urgent action to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. That's why we've teamed up with ACORN, Fuel Poverty Action, Medact and Greener Jobs Alliance. 🏠Read the full #RetrofitForTheFuture briefing: retrofitforthefuture.co.uk

No "if" about it...

Essential viewing to educate yourself about the lies of greedy, selfish people who've created and maintain a highly corrupt economic system (neo-liberal capitalism) just so they can gain wealth, power and control at the expense of everyone else.

@shaunwkeaveny.bsky.social Shaun, just CC'ing you into this thread on Twitter/X given you'll likely be interested (I know you left there a while ago). If you can't see the tweet thread without being logged into X, let me know and I'll send you a screen recording of it. x.com/Katarazzi1/s...

@robinince.bsky.social Just realised I'd tagged the wrong 'you' on Twitter/X the other day, cos I now remember you saying when you were going to leave Twitter/X 🤦🏼‍♀️ Can you still see this even though you're not a Twitter/X user anymore? x.com/Katarazzi1/s...

@robinince.bsky.social Glasto have now released this Robin. You doing Cabaret Stage again? Is Brian (Cox) going this year too? I saw you do the Glasto Monkey Cage episode when you did it there, and fabulous you were too ;-) x.com/glastonbury/...

Arresting judges for “interfering” is another line crossed deep into the field of fascism. Not sure how the alarm can be sounded any louder.

@rbreich.bsky.social Robert, are you aware of this article? nymag.com/intelligence...

@rbreich.bsky.social Robert, I'm a UK citizen in the UK & have been following your Facebook posts closely. Are you aware of the apparent USA re-emergence of the Nazi-based pro-natal eugenics agenda? If not, @theguardian.com have published an article on it today: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

And going ‘further and faster’ without a plan for nature? That isn’t progress, it’s gambling with our future. A thriving economy relies on a thriving natural world. Real growth means backing net-zero, nature recovery, and long-term sustainability... not pushing them aside.

Stop worrying about bats and newts? No Rachel Reeves MP – start worrying about the future of our economy if we tear down the nature it depends on. Nature isn’t a blocker; it’s the foundation of growth.

@robinince.bsky.social I've just caught up on the House of Games episodes you feature in Robin. Congrats on getting week champion and your several wins! What did your sister think of the egg house?
